Flexible and printed electronics has been a fast-changing business. Over the years, we have seen some technologies emerge – including sensors and wearables – while others decline, such as photovoltaics. Some markets have grown to be excellent opportunities, like automotive and healthcare, while others have faced challenges.
Healthcare has emerged as perhaps the strongest market and opportunity for flexible and printed electronics. Flexible and printed electronics were already making headway in the segment; printed glucose test strips were among the earliest successes for the technology, and sensors have been used in lots of medical and exercise applications.
The tragic COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated interest in all medical technologies, and flexible and printed electronics are particularly well suited for low-cost, high-volume applications. In “Flexible Electronics is Proving to Be Ideal for Healthcare,” which begins on page 11, I spoke with industry leaders, who offered thei
